This is the kind of ODD that we need more of in the world.

Olaf Diegel is a professor of mechatronics at Massey University in Auckland. "Mechatronics" is such a cool word. I hope that a me in a parallel universe somewhere is hands on mad on mechatronics. But back to Olaf who is by far more interesting as a design engineer with an expertise in digital fabrication, namely 3D printing. He is best known for his insanely intricate, custom 3D printed guitars which cannot be manufactured by any conventional method. I think I first came across his inspiring work on the
Ponoko blog. Last week
he was interviewed on Radio NZ, and it was one of the most interesting interviews I've heard on the programme. Of course, I'm passionate about the topic, but the man's enthusuasm for his work and innovation is absolutely contageous! I really should get back into CAD modeling.

I love Olaf's tagline
"ODD designs weird stuff, usually manufactured through 3D printing".
Wow, I love it. I love music, especially that instrument. And it seems to me that the world of 3D is infinite, the great variety of 3D models that can print such printers are incredible. Music and this technological world of 3d printing, Great mix. Finding free 3d models like these is amazing.
